Andy's POV:
I was inside his office already waiting for him, it's been half an hour, and he's still not here. I stood from the chair, walking towards the door when I heard his voice, I gasped running back to the chair, I sigh, I'm so nervous about this! Why does he want me here, again?
The door cracked open, I fixed myself looking at him, he wasn't mad, but he wasn't happy either. He walked towards his office, sitting on his chair facing me, holding a paper, reading from it, as if I didn't exist, "sir...you wanted to see me?" I started saying, he looked at me nodding.
"was that the guy from your notebook?" he asked directly, just like that, without introductions or anything, he went right to the point, "sir...what are you..." I started talking but he shook his head, "he's one of our employees, I assume I made that point clear the other day, it's against the company policy" he said standing from his chair, still holding the paper in his hand.
"He's not...more than a work friend, you don't have to worry about that" I said he nodded, sitting on the chair in front of me, I frowned."it's not what your notebook showed me the other day" he said looking right into my eyes, I shook my head, he doesn't believe me? "Sir, I assure you, you have nothing to worry about, I'm professional, and I’m aware of our company policy. '' I said as he nodded, crossing one leg over the other, he glanced again at the paper he was holding, then looked into my eyes again.
"Andy, the other night, when you pretended to be my fiancée in front of Chloe, did I force you in any way to do so?" he asked I frowned, shaking my head "no, sir" I answered, I'm confused, what is he up to?
"here, read it" he said handing me the paper he was holding, I start reading it but the big title caught my attention, I gaped from shock, while my eyes widened, I didn't need to read the rest, I glared at him unable to believe what is he offering me, I looked to the title again, reading it louder, "Marriage contract" I looked up into his eyes again.
"yes, marriage contract, that's what happens when you get your nose into people's business" he said standing from his chair, I looked down to see his signature was already there, I looked to the name in the opposite of his name to find it was mine, the only difference is, there was no signature below it.
I gulped, my hands started shaking, still holding the paper, I stood from my chair, "this is madness!! There's no way I'm agreeing to this!!" I said he turned to face me, walking closer to me, "you have to and you will" he threatened, I raised my face daring his glares, "really? Why would i?" I asked, I think It's a stupid question, I know he planned really carefully for this, I know him well, he wouldn't offer me this contract if he didn't know I'll agree eventually.
"because, you care a lot about your work, your position in this company, and all your hard work" he said, I closed my eyes, to hell with this work, it doesn’t worth all of this, a marriage contract would only destroy my life!
"Then, I quit" I said but he grabbed my chin with his strong hand, my teeth were hurting from his grip , I closed my eyes, I opened them when he let go, "fine, but you know what is our company policy, you'll have to pay, In cash! Other than that, you're mine!" he threatened, I gaped from shock, what kind of a monster is this? Is this the guy I was daydreaming about all the time?
He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, walking away from me, "you don't get to decide Andy, you already took your decision, that night when you walked to the game by your own choice, I didn't force you to say your name, or take off your fucking mask, I didn't ask for your help, I was doing just fine, but you had to screwed everything up!! Which is why you'll fix everything!" he said walking closer to me again, pointing to the paper I was holding.
I sigh, closing my eyes, to hide the tears that they start to prick at the corner of my eyes. I nodded, he smirked, I looked at the paper I was holding, I frowned when I start reading it, everything that's been writing here is only for his benefits, not mine, for example, he can do whatever he wants while me, I have to stop working, and be a housewife, I glared at him, he smirked.
"I'm sorry, but this is not okay, I can never be only a housewife, I love working..." he nodded cutting my words, "fine, you'll work what else?" he nodded I was surprised that he agreed easily, "two separate rooms...agreed, both parties agree that se...agreed" I said blushing at this part, didn't want to continue reading 'sexual relations' loud in front of him, I can see a little smirk appearing on his lips, what a pervert!
"the first one to end the contract would be the one to pay two hundred and fifty thousand dollars...what? this is too much!!" I said, unable to stand anymore, " why? Are you afraid to pay already? Follow the rules, and you won't need to pay" he said, I rolled my eyes. I continue to read, " the contract duration is six months" I looked up at him, "I know, it's a lot to take, you're lucky that you'll have to deal with me, I'm not that lucky, since it's you I have to deal with" he smirked, I felt a pain in my chest, i was hurting from his words, i don’t want him to notice. I shake my head, he's such a monster.
"falling in love with each other is strictly prohibited...it's not like I have a problem with that" I lied, I love him. I gulped, "no one should know" I continued reading, when I was finally done, he sat next to me, handing me a pen, looking into my eyes, "how come you have all the benefits, while I got nothing?" I said, he shakes his head from annoyance, "you get to be the boss bride, this comes with a lot of benefits".
"At least let me talk to my parents" I said, he smirks, standing, putting his hands inside his pockets, "I already called them, and told them we're getting married, they weren't annoyed about it, in fact they were so happy" he said, my eyes widened, "you what?" I asked not believing his words, "as you heard, and now all obstacles are gone, let's end this!" he said looking at the contract, I nodded, holding the pen once again...and with that I was sure that this was the beginning of something huge.
After I was done, I was about to go outside his office, "get ready for this weekend, we're heading to Italy, to meet my parents" he said, as if Italy was only a few meters away from here, I nodded heading out of his office. This is unbelievable, two days ago I didn't even have a boyfriend, next month I'm having a wedding, a fake wedding, but it's still a damn wedding!
Andy’s POV: My eyes widened when the guy turned around, my doubts turned out to be true. Even though he was wearing a black mask, those blue ocean eyes made me recognize him right away. “Harris?” My voice barely audible, a smile crept onto his half masked face. His eyes were locked with mine for a moment, and I knew I was in trouble, just like every time. “surprised?” he said, scanning my look for a moment, then smirked. His eyes met mine again. I was about to turn, but he grabbed me by my waist, turning me around, so I was facing his smiley face. “What do you think you’re doing?” I asked, “can we at least dance?” he said, his hands traveled from my waist to my back. He pulled me close to him. And I could feel my breath fading away. A song started to play, I assume it was the same song that played in Paris, at Caleb’s party, he smirked. “What do you want, Harris?” I asked, looking away from him as he started to dance, making me sway along with him. All the dancers baby on t
Harris’s pov:I was very surprised that Tress finally decided to talk to me. I was trying to talk to her for the past few months.“What do you want?” she asked, her voice annoyed and pissed. “Tress…please, can you listen to me before judging me?” I asked, “I’ll think about it” her voice was more calm.“I love Andy…and I know how much she loves me…” I started, “but I don’t think she needs me as much as I need her” I added, she remained silent for a moment.“I don’t think there’s another good friend that knows what’s good for his friend like you do” I said, “I just want to know what happened suddenly that made Andy leave?” I asked, she remained silent for a moment, “as if you don’t know” she said, making me shake my head.“I swear…I don’t” I said, “you have to stop all the acting, Andy knows about you and Chloe” she said, seemed honest. My eyes widened, “what?” I asked, feeling my heartbeat accelerating.“She knows that you were back to Chloe, and the worst part was that you told Chloe
Harris’s POV:I stood from my seat, her eyes were locked with mine, and I could feel my heart skipping a beat. Andy was there in front of me, still standing at the doorway, but the way she looked at me, it wasn’t the same anymore.We kept staring at each other for what looked like ages, and it was burning me from the inside. I was too weak, and she was a few inches away from me, but I was unable to walk towards her.Suddenly, she started walking towards my desk, then put some papers on it. I frowned, narrowing my eyes at the papers on my desk. I froze looking at her cold eyes, I was about to say something but she beat me to it.“I signed them…we’re no longer…husband and wife” she said, the shock left me silent, I was about to explain, but I couldn’t speak, instead I kept scanning every inch I loved in her, and it was everything, there was nothing that I didn’t love about the girl she was standing in front of me. I made a few steps closer to her.She flinched, looking away from me, I
Andy’s POV:I was still staring at Hector, who was looking back at me. I was unable to move, standing in front of him as if I was a body without a soul.“What were you expecting?” he asked, “that you can do whatever you want, then just run?” he added, I frowned, then looked away from him.“This was your son’s idea…” I started, but he interrupted me, making closer steps towards me, “but you agreed to it” he said, I opened my mouth to protest, “you lied to all of us, especially to my wife” he said, he was pissed, and annoyed.I gulped, not having any idea of what to answer him, deep down, I knew he was right! But I couldn’t just watch while he was putting all the blame on me.“My wife was lying in a bed inside a hospital for like a month, because of your actions, you and my son” he said, I looked down, not able to look at his disappointed face. I was tearing apart from the inside, I’ve never felt much humiliation in my whole life.I gulped, not looking into his eyes, “I kind of expected
Harris’s POV:I knew that I couldn’t do that anymore, I was struggling and fighting back, just to stay away from alcohol. I hated the fact that I was weak, and needy. And it sucks that I had to have the same bad hangover every morning.Which is why I decided to make a promise, that I’ll stop all of this shit, and was trying to occupy my time with various activities, I even started to go swimming, and boxing.Caleb was shocked, still not believing the fact I was trying to stop all of the mess in my life. But all of that didn’t stop me from thinking about her, Andy was keeping my mind occupied, even at work, I wasn’t able to focus. Most of my meetings were no longer interesting, because she wasn’t around anymore.And most of the employees were confused, and negative all the time, and that made me more aware of the upcoming consequences. If I continue in this way, I’ll lose everything!“The doctor said she’s doing good, but…” My father said, “but she she’s still in coma” I said, dad look
Andy’s POV:“Are you alright?” Landen asked, I froze looking at him, then nervously wiped my tears, “yeah…sorry, it was an urgent phone call” I said with an apologetic look, he nodded, “it’s okay to have phone calls, as long as your work is done. It’s also okay if you want to read some of our books” he finished, I felt relieved that he was friendly.“Anyway, if you need any help with these documents, just ask for Elena’s help” he said before leaving me, I received another call, I decided to switch my phone off, since I have some work to do.After I finished all the work, it was lunch time. I headed outside the library after I took Landen’s permission of course.I switched my phone on, and after a moment or two, it started ringing, I frowned, it was Tress. “hey…” I started, but she interrupted me. “thank god you’re okay!!” she gasped, taking a deep breath, her voice shaking.I frowned, “what’s going on?” I asked, “Andy, Harris knows that you were working with…” she started, “Kim?” I wh
